A Dissappointment

My actions not taught, learnt Choices of bliss blind to regret Inhalation an act of betrayal Exhalation succumbing a conscience Unsupervised time; irresponsible beings. Fear overcome, discipline disappeared The second eased by the first My body a temple, tarnished by a whiff Remarks held true, fall to a lack of structure Pride spoken, unknowingly. Morals condemn my sight Preach do I, with no bearing upon my own A resonating voice that ably lies A norm increasing believability Forgiveness can not be asked until guilt is sequestered. Precedent welcoming hazards The clearance of smoke; a lapse to wet my throat A child who promised to never, seeing forever Rebellious thrills, consuming potential Age prepping an inescapable chamber. Coordination of motions inhibited Obscenities uttered, consideration discarded Attention found, with reflectivity Substances relieved of responsibility by a will Upbringing questioned, a disappointment mentioned.
